- DELPHI INSTALLATION
- ===========================================================
-
- Starting the installation program
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- The Delphi 5 installation program should run automatically
- when you insert your CD. Otherwise, launch the setup
- program-- INSTALL.EXE --from your CD.
-
- From the Launcher, you can install Delphi, InstallShield
- Express, and other programs (which vary depending on your
- edition of Delphi). You can also connect directly to Borland
- to register your copy of Delphi (requires a working Internet
- connection).
-
- ***********************************************************
- IMPORTANT! Be sure to reboot the computer (as prompted by
- the installation program) after installing and before using
- the product.
- ***********************************************************
-
- Installation directory
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- By default, Delphi 5 installs into the directory:
-
- \Program Files\Borland\Delphi5
-
- This README and most other documentation assumes these
- defaults.
-
- If you install to a different location, be sure you do
- not install over any previous Delphi release.
-
- Installing the Borland Database Engine
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- This release of Delphi includes a new version of the
- Borland Database Engine (BDE). Unless you specify other
- than the default setup directories during installation,
- Delphi will overwrite existing 32-bit BDE and SQL Links
- installations.
-
- Note that BDE is available only in the Enterprise and
- Professional editions of Delphi 5; SQL Links is available
- only in the Enterprise edition. For additional BDE
- installation information, see BDEINST.TXT in your main
- BDE directory (installation default:
- C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Bde)
-
-
- KNOWN INSTALLATION ISSUES
- ===========================================================
-
- InterBase Client
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- When installing Delphi and InterBase client, an invalid
- error message may occur. With an error code of 401, the
- message is "String variable is not large enough for string.
- Check the string declarations". Ignore the error and click
- the OK button, the installation will proceed normally. When
- this problem does occur, it should only be on installations
- involving very long directory paths.
-
- InterBase Install/Registry
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- If the error "Internal error near: IBcheck" occurs, check
- the PATH value for the registry key:
- HK_Current_user\environment and if it is a hex value delete
- it or convert it to a character string.
-
- InterBase 5 and NetWizard
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- NetWizard may interfere with the installation of InterBase
- 5 (not included with all editions of Delphi), resulting in
- the error "Error trying to interface with Windows shell."
- You must disable NetWizard prior to installing Delphi.
-
- Known installation issues with Delphi and other products
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- For issues that relate to Delphi 5 installation, see
- README.TXT on the root of your Delphi 5 CD.
